John RRIGHT,s LETTER.


LONDON, Jan. SI.-John Bright has
written a letter in which he says he de-
plores "that men suppos d to represent
liiShmen and tenants, rever speak word
of counsel to their COuntrymen in behalf
| of industry, honesty or temperance, which
would lessen the Irish evils. Through
the increase of Irish-American donations
the land act of 1881 gave the most COM
plete security to the results of industry
on the part Of tenants, but their lead
ers condemned the legislation so
much in their favor and
never advised them to make
an honest use OF their new position. In
dustry will nave no chance while the peo-
pie are mislead by a conspiracy whose
main objects are to plumber the landlords
and excite bitter hatred Of England.
| GERMAN LIBERAL MANIFESTO.
! BERLIN, Jan. 3l.-A Committee of the
| National Liberal party have issued a man
| ifesto to the lectl"rs. They say: "Never
| since the Franco German war has the dan
! ger of great conflict been so near. No
statesman can form any certain conclu-
sion as to the future, even for few
weeks. Tn peace of Europe at this time
| depends solely upon the strength and
rea inf SIS for action, and the moral trust
worthiness of the German army. The
National Liberals confident voice of uni
versal suffrage will pronounce the right
of decision. An uppropitious issue of
the elections will bring down upon the
country war with all it's terro S, and even
with the best results, heavy losses"
BERLIN, Jan. 81 The Post, semi off
cal, in leading article headed "On the
L ige Of the Knite," says: "The position

strengthened but is becoming unassailable.

also, because the latter are unable to give
acceptable form to their wishes, finding
their judgment confused by the agita-

can only be changed by temper
izing, the government waiting
for happy inspiration to
accept the true peace. But the gov
eminent, under General Boulanger, is
scarcely likely to be able to temporize.

the situation by keeping up the warlike
impression left upon the minds of all OBJ.

nave been pushed forward with feverish
energy, General Boulsnger no longer has
the power to lead the people back
to the path of peace. If he attempted to
do so he would have to quilt his post bur-
dened with reproach fOr having LED France
to the brink OF great peril"
The official Gazette referring to the
numerous applications for appointments
for the means OF emigration to territories
under German protection, says all the
posts are filed and no assistance will be
afforded would-be settlers, the govern
ment not desiring emigration to such
colonies.
